Recently, Fernández-Menchero et al. (2014) reported effective collision strengths ϒ for transitions among 238 fine-structure levels, belonging to the n ≤ 7 configurations of C III. They adopted the (semi-relativistic) R-matrix code (ICFT), resolved resonances in a fine energy mesh, averaged Ω over a Maxwellian distribution, and reported results over a wide range of electron temperature up to 1.8×107 K.
